General Information and How to Access Our Services

The Counseling Service is located at 501 Park Avenue, First
Floor or via telephone at (508) 793-7678. The Counseling Services office is staffed by
licensed mental health professionals and clinical interns. We provide clinical services
for undergraduate students, consultations and
training for faculty and staff, and appointments to graduate students with the
goal of assessing and stabilizing the presenting concern, and then determining
the most appropriate use of local resources. Counseling Services is open
Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Appointments can be made by
calling 508-793-7678 and leaving a message on mailbox 1, and by email at
counseling@clarku.edu.

Confidentiality and Safety is of the utmost importance. The service is confidential for students and information is not shared without permission, except in cases where an individual's safety is at risk. If it has been clinically determined that a student is at risk to her/himself or others, the student may be requested to be assessed at Emergency Mental Health at UMASS Memorial Hospital. The University has a protocol following any mental health hospital evaluation or hospitalization. This protocol includes a re-entry interview by an on-campus clinician which must take place within 24 business hours of release from the hospital. A student is not allowed back on campus unless the interview has been conducted or unless otherwise stated by the Dean of Students.
